Here I go posting after my first post back in 2011/12. I'm happy to announce that I'm pregnant. I'm almost 9 weeks far! I want to let y'all know a little bit about my journey. I started going to a homeopath doctor in April 2013. He told me that I had a small problem with my thyroid. (your thyroid controls your hormones) it plays a big role in your body. So he started me with a little dose of iodine. He also gave me vitamins for my ovaries, uterus. And I got pregnant in December 2013! No fertility drugs. All natural. I really encourage you to see a natural doctor. He will find were the problem is coming from. Pcos is somewhat related with thyroid dysfunction. I really hope this helps a lot of woman. Don't ever give up and always trust God he is our strength!

I was diagnosed with PCOS two years ago and went through treatment to regulate my period. I am not on any treatment right now only keeping track of my menstral cycles and length of it. I too am trying to have a baby. My doctor mentioned that there is a big chance of me being able to get pregnant since I am somewhat regular now. Fertility treatment may be needed if my period returns to a crazy schedule. I hope this was helpful to you. Good Luck in trying!

yes you can!! i was diagnosed with pcos when i was 14, 8 years later and i now have an 18 month old son! i took no fertility pills and wasnt on birth control and didnt even have a period and still got pregnant. there are plenty of ways to help a woman with pcos get pregnant. pcos does not mean your infertile. it just means itll be harder to conceive.

i was diagnosed with PCOS since I was 16, when a cyst ruptured. I would miss periods for months, so I didn't use any contraceptives for years. I got married in 2005 with a wonderful to whom I explained my situation that I couldn't get pregnant and still married me. Sometime in the summer of 2009 another cyst ruptured, By then I had made it a routine of getting pregnancy tests done just to show my mind that I wasn't pregnant since I hadn't had a period since December of 2008. Well to my surprise in October of 2009 the test came back positive so I decided to go to the Dr. I was 16 weeks pregnant. After my son perfectly healthy son was born, I decided to have my second baby right away which resulted in a miscarriage. i knew I was fertile so I didn't want to wait and then get full of cysts again, In september of 2011 I had my beautiful daughter. So you can get pregnant with PCOS, it's just a matter of time and some tears in the process.

God is the giver of children. I was diagnosed with pcos a month after my wedding when I went in for a laproscopy due to a painful cyst dt had 2 be removed. Have been married for two year plus and trying 2 conceive. My Dr placed me on clomide for 3 cycles Wch ended up giving mi painful ovarian cyst. So I stopped and surprisingly I Had a miscarriage Abt a year ago, with out any meds didn't knw I was even preggy till I lost it. My fingers are crossed cos I knw God won't fail me nd He has promised not to fail you to if you put ur trust in Him. Doesn't matter d name of the disease, coz God is the giver of children

I was just diagnosed with PCOS in August. I began taking Metformin in September. The first two days were awful! Gas and diarrhea. I was afraid to leave the house. But since then I have not had any issues and plan to increase to two 500mg pills per day soon. It gives me so much hope to hear about all of the women who have been able to get pregnant by taking Metformin. I started taking it 9/13 and got my period for the first time in two months on 9/16. I was never so happy to get my period! I pray that they stay regular. I had taken 10 days worth of Provera prior to the Metformin so I don't know if it was the Provera, the Metformin or a combo of both, but it doesn't matter. I pray that soon I will be able to post that I am pregnant as well. For all of those ladies who are not pregnant yet keep your heads up and I will pray for you.

I was diagnosed with PCOS in Jan 2012 after a year or trying and a cyst bursting. I was put on 2000 mg of Metformin in Feb 2012. I wasn't over weight but I lost 23 lbs and I cut carbs, sodas, and sugar out of my diet. My periods became regular. About 30 days apart. I lowered my testosterone levels from 78 to 36 by July. Then in October 2012 I started to work out 5 days a week all cardio. On October 7 I had a really light period. I only had spotting for 2 days. Then on Nov 7 I still hadn't had a period yet and I have been having sore breasts for 2 weeks and feeling nauseas. Also certain smells made me feel sick. My husband kept saying,"You are so pregnant." I was like no that won't happen for me. lol Well On Nov 7 I got a positive pregnancy test. :) I went to the doctor to confirm it that day. I was already 5 weeks along. The crazy thing is that we had an appointment with a fertility specialist on Nov 19th. I was so grateful that I was able to get pregnant naturally. Good luck ladies!

I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 17, and am now 31 (will be 32 in August) and am almost 20 weeks pregnant. At 17 I was given Provera to start my cycle ( I had never had one on my own up to that point) and then was put on birth control pills to help regulate it. My husband and I decided that we wanted to try for a baby this year, so last year I asked my OBGYN to put me on Metformin. He did and once my husband and I started trying to get pregnant it only took 2 months! I do have gestational diabetes, and have had it since the start of my pregnancy. Other than that I have not had any other complications. So, I would say Metformin definitely works. I feel very lucky to have conceived so easily. Especially because I was told at 17 that it would be next to impossible without fertility treatments and not really all that probable with them.
